CHILDREN’S DENTISTRY— the FIRST DENTAL VISIT Parents of young children often ask me at what age they should bring their son or daughter into the dental office for the first time. When I was in dental school at the University of Michigan we were taught that the best time to see kids for the first time was age 3. By age 3 the child was usually mature enough to “coop- erate” with the dental team and he or she could have J.D. Power and Associates regular preventative dental cleaning. The problem has has ranked us: always been that sometimes by age 3 major dental problems have already developed necessitating major dental treatment. With this in mind, The American Pe- “Highest Customer diatric Dental Association recently came out with new Satisfaction with Retail recommendations. The new recommended age for a Banking in the North child’s first dental visit is age 1.

Realistically, we are not go- ing to be able to do a full dental cleaning with x-rays on a 1 year old. But I am able to determine that all the teeth are developing normally and can catch problems very early well before any major trouble. Just as im- portantly, this gives me and my team an opportunity to educate mom and dad about proper dental care for their child. Dental office fears and phobias in adults are very common and can be so extreme that a person will avoid going to the dentist. This can lead to ma- jor dental problems and poor oral and overall health. When I question these people about their dental fears they almost always relate some traumatic childhood experience that has scarred them for life.
